What happens when a child dies? How does society treat parents after they have lost a child? Was death any different in the Victorian era than in today’s world? This thoughtful analysis examines child death in Victorian Scotland - an area which has been woefully neglected by historians, who have generally chosen to examine child death in England when focusing on UK history. Questions around money, child safety, class prejudices and societal shortcomings are examined here in depth, focusing on wide-ranging historical and literary primary sources such as Scottish folktales, children’s diaries, novels and newspapers.

While not a long book, this revised edition based on Abley’s 2011 MSc. thesis for the University of Edinburgh provides some excellent insights into Scottish culture and life during the nineteenth century, looking at how parents dealt with profound loss, and at the society who shaped them.
